That car will still need a lot of work, all the rubber and plastic pieces have dried out and gotten brittle. It wasn't driven in the last 3 years, every seal on that car will leak like a sieve. Great find though.

it's a nice car but the Shelby GT350 is the one that'd bring sick money if it was all dusty and sitting in the garage. The GT500 was more of a gimmicky Shelby, more looks than performance, a bigger, heavier car.

The Original '65 GT350 is a valuable car, but you're kidding yourself if you think the GT500 isn't just as valuable. There is nothing gimmicky about the 67-68 GT500 and 67-8 Fastbacks are by far the most sought after and expensive of all the early model Mustangs.

And there is a barely a difference in weight. The uni-body on the different model years are damn near identical.

**EDIT**

Didn't see that it was a '69. Yeah, those aren't quite as valuable as the 67-8's or the 65-6's

A buddy of mine bought a 2014 Mustang Shelby GT500, the souped up one with 660HP. He takes it out on nice days, but overall he looks at it as an investment for down the road thinking that some hardcore collector is going to come looking for such a vehicle 20 years down the road.

I can't think of a worse investment, well unless you put your money on Lehman Brothers.

Yeah definitely better off driving it and not an investment. While it's limited production it's very likely nothing that will be considered iconic and thus collectable other than its ability to destroy rear tires.
